Help with shell holder identity

Ned’s help identifying a shellholder - no manufacturer/company markings, larger diameter than shell holders that clip into the rams on my RCBS loaders ( approx .484 vs .432) . This shell holder also is threaded in the primer hole. Top of shell holder is marked ‘29’ and a .45 ACP case slips in/out nicely. Also outside rim is knurled.

Herters ? Maybe?, old CH, Hollywood?

Unknown on left next to an older RCBS extended shell holder.

Thanks

The one on the left is Herter's. Why some previous owner wanted to thread the primer hole is anyone's guess, but they turn up from time to time.
 
The one on the right looks to be the an RCBS #X used with the RCBS Comp FL Die Sets #37801. I have one in 308 Winchester which uses the #X3 shell holder with the 3 being the # for a RCBS .308 Win (or spawn of) or .45 ACP and a host of others. Interesting in that while the die box mentions use shell holder #X3 the actual shell holder has no markings on it. I just keep it in the box with the die set.

The shell holder, I believe is a Herter's, from years past. The extended ram, is a RCBS, or at least it looks like one I have from RCBS.
 
Thanks to all. I suspected the larger one ( left) to be a Herters but have no presses with that ram. I knew the RCBS to be an extended one but knowledgeable confirmation always appreciated!!
Thanks!

@Tommie has the herters press that fits
Yep i have one of those old Herters. If you have no use for that shell holder I’d buy it from you.
